Hi Tempestuous, would you afford me a quick overview on how you built this pkg- so I can learn something for my effort?

All you need to do is run the "make" command ...
but I think you first need fully configured kernel sources!
By this, I mean that not only does the kernel source need to be present, it also needs to be configured, and maybe also compiled. This will ensure that all the necessary kernel source headers are built.

To configure your kernel source, do this -

Code:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.33.2
make menuconfig

This will present you with the kernel configuration menu. There's no need to change anything in this menu, just exit, and save if prompted to do so.
This simple exercise will create a number of kernel configuration files. At this point it's feasible that you can go ahead and compile your "easy-slow-down-manager" package, but maybe not ... so proceed to the full kernel compilation -

Code:

make bzImage

then

Code:

make modules

Now you have a full kernel development environment. The "easy-slow-down-manager" drivers will certainly compile now.

I have included the necessary firmware for the ueagle-atm driver, but I cannot legally provide the necessary firmware for the cxacru and speedtch drivers. You will need to find this firmware, yourself, and place it in /lib/firmware
The cxacru driver requires: cxacru-fw.bin
The speedtch driver requires: speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin

And since PPP-over-ATM is not supported in Puppy Lucid (nor any other standard Puppy), you must also install the ATM networking drivers.

I'm guessing by "fool" you mean "not functioning". When you search this forum for "b43" you will see that this driver fails to work with certain (troublesome) models of Broadcom wifi devices. The problem is generally solved in newer Puppy versions with newer kernels and the new "brcmsmac" driver, but with older kernels (such as Lucid has) the only solution is to use the proprietary Broadcom wifi driver - this driver is posted by forum member peebee at the top of this page.

Be careful what you ask for, and what you might presume your solution to be;

No, this should not achieve any different result ... except for what was intended - wifi on/off switching.

If I use the internet setup wizard, Network Wizard or Simple network setup, the ralink module rt2800usb is loaded. Apparently, this may not work with WPA encryption. Nonetheless, I was unable to establish an internet connection. I installed Frisbee and tried to establish a connection, but again, no luck as expected. The strange thing is that I used a different wireless usb dongle (wireless G with chipset realtek (rtl8187)) to configure my network, establish connection, then replaced the realtek dongle with my ralink dongle, Frisbee connects to the internet consistently (on every boot). Can someone explain this to me?

Also, if I were to start from scratch and not configure the wireless with the realtek usb dongle, install a dot pet with the appropriate driver, do I need to blacklist rt2800usb module?

installed the logitech and joystick utils pets from this thread and after reboot fftest states that force feedback function not implemented..any tricks to make force feedback work in puppy 528?....steering wheel works but no force feedback function

people are still realising disabled LUCIDs
LXDE lucid nite flux from spane : no sound, no wifi.
Even now ! we have all the correct drivers available. Please issue a new ISO including them.
And long life to Lucid !

Pelo and Spaccafumo, I am not a moderator, but I hope you don't mind me telling you that this thread is specifically for: Drivers for Puppy 5.1-5.2.8 with 2.6.33.2 kernel

iwlagn :
What does that mean (here after) ?
The only solution at the moment seems to be deactivating wireless N mode and use wireless G mode only.
A lot of work has to be done here.

It will be my last try to be wirelessed with Lucid. I will stay chained to my ethernet cable ! but be cool, i just try to make things working, it's not a disaster ! Any news about this subject ? Merci les gars.
